  • We will stroll around the unique monastery complex, hear its difficult fate, the history of Buddhism in Russia, all the secrets and legends of the monastery. The monastery complex includes several temples, a museum and even a university!
  • We will see the main shrine of Datsan - imperishable body of Hambo Lama. You will be able to touch the lama's secret, perhaps even see him and talk to him, ask for life advice during meditation.
  • Because of the geographical and cultural closeness to Tibet, there is also a healer from these places who can also be visited and consulted.
  • I'll tell you lots of interesting stories and show you inexpensive souvenir shops where you can buy something to remember the amazing Tibetan culture!
  • The price includes: guide services, comfortable transport along the itinerary.
  • It is recommended that you bring clothes for the weather (preferably covering your knees, shoulders and chest), comfortable shoes and water.
  • In the rain, a mackintosh or umbrella would be useful. Let me know if you don't have it :)
